Abstract:The phytochemical investigation of Abutilon pannosum (Malvaceae) collected from arable land of Tennidah village, Dakhla Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt, resulted in the separation and identification of a new flavonoid, kaempferol 4'-O-(6"-O-E-p-coumaroyl)-β-Dglucopyranoside 1 from butanol fraction, in addition to the identification of the volatile constituents of petroleum ether and methylene chloride by GC/MS analysis. Structure of the separated compound was elucidated by spectral analysis. Additionally, the antimicrobial, antioxidant activities and cytotoxicity of different fractions of Abutilon pannosum and compound 1 were evaluated. The antimicrobial activity indexes of methanol extract (Ap C), compound 1, methylene chloride extract (Ap B) and petroleum ether extract (Ap A) against Escherichia coli were found to be 66.7%, 50.0%, 33.3%, and 0.0%, respectively. While the activity indexes of compound 1, (Ap B), (Ap C), (Ap A) against staphylococcus aureus were 68.2%, 63.6%, 59.1% and 9.1%, respectively, and against Candida albicans, their activity indexes were 38.8%, 38.5%, 34.6%, and 11.5%, respectively. The radical scavenging activity of the extracts and standard were found to be in the following order: ascorbic acid (88.6%) ˃ (Ap C) (84.4%) ˃ compound 1 (76.8%) ˃ (Ap B) (59.2%) ˃ (Ap A) (6.3%). The IC50 values against HePG2 indicated that the cytotoxicity of extracts decreased in the order: compound 1 was "very strong", (Ap C) was "strong", (Ap B) was "moderate", and (Ap A) was "weak", while against PC3 of compound 1 was "strong", (Ap B and Ap C) were "moderate", and (Ap A) was weak, and against MCF-7 compound 1 and (Ap C) were "strong", (Ap B) was "moderate", and (Ap A) was "non-cytotoxic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
